"ILM Level 7 Coaching and Mentoring"

The approach of Synergia Coaching Limited and specifically Clare in delivery and support for the ILM Level 7 Coaching and Mentoring course has been excellent. In-person sessions with the ability to additionally join online masterclasses, all alongside and being able to contact both Clare and Kerry with specific questions has provided a learning environment suited to any learning speed and style. Thank you!

"Highly recommended"

Working with Clare was great - she provided a safe and well structured space for much needed reflection in my role.

"Superordinary Leadership Course"

Amazing course provided by even more amazing and brilliant lovely people!

"Outstanding Company"

The support and encouragement from Syneria Coaching Ltd has been outstanding. Having completed my Level 7 Coaching Qualification with Synergia the relationship didn't stop there. The team have supported me beyond my qualification period and continue to be responsive and supportive in all aspects. I would highly recommend Synergia Coaching Ltd to study with and work with.

"Great Level 7 coaching training"

The structure of the course, having a small group of trainees who form an action learning group, worked really well for me. It was great to have people to go through the process with, to discuss issues in our trainee coaching sessions and work on assignments. Clare gave great advice throughout and is supportive, encouraging and realistic in her feedback which really helped me to learn. Kerry and Clare provide great support to learners and help whenever there are challenges along the way. You know they want you to succeed.

"Fantastic course and experience "

I thought that experience would give me the skills and knowledge I needed to coach and mentor and I didn’t need a qualification to validate me but I was very wrong. I learned so much through all aspects of the course from different methodologies and what works for me but also how to adjust for different clients. I enjoyed the research element and taking time to reflect properly. The team at Synergia are supportive, knowledgeable and available.

"The benefits of face to face teaching"

The course was unfortunately effected by lockdowns and consequently there was no face to face teaching/ supervision throughout. This wasn’t what I expected and am much more focused with in-person classes. The practical sessions with coachees were also effected by lockdown which meant learning to use new technology (teams/ zoom etc), which was difficult too. I felt that things ‘drifted’ at times, with long periods where there was no contact/ little contact or when supervision sessions were cancelled. Teaching days had to be ‘split’ into part days on-line. I think that this would have been better had there been face to face teaching (although not possible at this time - I’m sure previous and subsequent groups will have a different experience)
Having said that, synergia were very responsive when contacted. Feedback was prompt and well structured giving precise information on performance and how to improve.
I struggled greatly with staying on track and completing the written elements of the course, which again was hampered by distant / on-line learning and I absolutely hated the ‘portfolio’ element of the assignments (would have much preferred to write a dozen essays).
I very much enjoyed the practical coaching/ mentoring. I feel I learned a lot and am extremely pleased that I persevered and completed.

"Excellent Mentor and Supervisor"

Clare has been my coaching mentor and supervisor for several years. Her experience, knowledge and skill have always proved invaluable and she has consistently judged the right approach for every conversation we have had, whether that is encouragement or challenge. I have appreciated her support in moving forwards with my own coaching practice and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

"Great Team, Quality Training"

The team at Synergia were superb, with quality teaching from Clare and great support from Kerry. Despite delays due to Covid, Clare went out of her way to provide extra 1-1 virtual tuition which was invaluable in achieving my Level 5 ILM qualification. Highly recommend choosing these guys for your training/coaching.

"A great coach"

Clare really helped me in preparing for an interview. Her supportive and specific approach to coaching took me to a place where I was much readier for the challenge on the day. I learnt so much for the future from this process and I got the job! I would recommend Clare to anyone facing a similar application process and interview.
